Is it okay to avoid situations that make me anxious, or is that giving up to it?

This avoidance should not remain something permanent. It should be something that is avoided until you have found a good way to cope with the anxiety that is causing the situation to give you anxiety.

It's ok to do that sometimes, but it's not the best decision.... You should just go at the sititution at a way your less anxious ....maybe if you invite someone to join you....so your not going alone. Just do some thinking before each sititution and go into it with what seems less anxious to you.

I don't think it's considered "giving up" you're simply protecting yourself and eliminating what triggers them. It takes self-awareness to able to figure that out. I use the very same method to deal with my severe anxiety, and it had helped me tremendously.

I believe its okay to avoid distressing situations. Until you know how, and until you learn how to make progress, do not face situations which trigger/fire up your anxiety. Take it one step at a time. If it stresses you, dont stress yourself. If you can deal with it and handle it, then it cant possibly make you anxious and you win the game :)

Its definitely ok to avoid situations where you are not comfortable. That isn't giving up, that's called self defense and you are taking care of yourself.

It depends on the situation I believe. If it is something that can be avoided, then yes. If not, I believe positive coping mechanisms are very important. Avoiding may be the best option, but a few coping mechanisms can go a long way. This can even be deep breathing or journaling.

Sometimes. You shouldn't always stay away from anxious situations, but sometimes you need to. Particularly if you don't HAVE to be in that situation.

Try and relax... Focus... Ask yourself what’s causing you to feel anxious... Looking into yourself and working out issues can be extremely helpful... Also, discussing these issues can be extremely therapeutic to one’s well being...

It is okay on occasion to be avoiding situations. However, long term it may be an issue that can impact your life

it is entirely okay to avoid situations that make you feel anxious. anxiety is a natural reaction to situations which could possibly be threatening in nature. having excess anxiety and always being on edge is not very healthy for your mind or your body. with that said, there do exist situations that it is not healthy, productive, or sometimes even possible to avoid. in those circumstances, you may find it helpful to seek the guidance of a professional who can help you lower your anxiety response in the face of those situations
